Re: [wtp-dev] should WST have references to JDT?

Craig,

I agree in principal. Any generic function
should be moved into the platform. However, some tools may be generating
Java, even in WST. Not all Java related function is in J2EE. For example,
what about XSD to Java generators? They are not necessarliy in J2EE so
they should be in WST. Or the reverse, generation of XML from Java. You
might want to access a Java model or some function that is in JDT.

Subject	[wtp-dev] should WST have references to JDT?

Just curious to how others feel about this.  In my working model of
the WTP universe I'm assuming that there's no reason to have WST plugins
reference JDT.  I know we currently do have such references in our
WST code but I'm assuming these will eventually be removed or relocated
to the JST side.  I suppose the only exception that I can think of
would be 'generic' function that just happens to be currently located in
the JDT packages (and we  should really chase down eclipse to refactor
this sort of function).  Any opinions? 

thanks

Craig
